Self-learning Computer Science is a curated, open-source guide repository designed to help learners independently study computer science topics using high-quality university-level resources. The author (an undergraduate CS student) assembled links to courses from institutions like MIT, UC Berkeley, Stanford, etc., covering mathematics, programming, data structures/algorithms, computer architecture, machine learning, software engineering and more. It’s aimed at learners who find traditional course structures restrictive and want a flexible, self-paced path through CS, with a focus on building depth and breadth rather than shortcut exam skills. The repository provides a roadmap, references, teaching materials, and sometimes the author’s own project examples, offering both guidance and community support. Because the CS field is broad, the structure helps learners allocate study time, avoid duplication, and benefit from “best in class” resources instead of randomly browsing.
